Elite Basketball: Perimeter Player Development Professional basketball trainer Rob McClanaghan has trained some of the NBA’s and WNBA’s best. Players like Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and Candace Parker have all trained with McClanaghan. In this video, the NBA skills trainer lays out his blueprint for building the complete perimeter player. Coach McClanaghan starts with shooting and moves through stationary and moving ball-handling drills, change of direction drills, and drills for working on using ball screens. Elite Basketball Shooting Form The fundamentals of shooting are important at any level. Coach McClanaghan demonstrates how to properly shoot the ball. Players then work on mastering their technique and form. Stationary & Moving Ball-Handling No matter what level a player is at, they must work on the basic fundamentals. One of those, of course, is ball-handling. Coach McClanaghan puts players through a set of 10 simple, effective, and time-efficient drills that help players improve their dribbling technique. Players also see several new dribbling moves that create scoring opportunities for everyone on the floor. Change of Speed/Direction To be a great perimeter player, one must be able to deceive defenders by changing speed and/or direction. Coach McClanaghan helps players build these skills with a set of “off the wing” moves. Players must have a strong jab step. McClanaghan demonstrates an effective jab step and then adds a counter. Each move that players develop must have a counter. Having a variety of moves makes a player that much more potent when they get the ball on the wing. Ball Screens Today’s offenses utilize the ball screen more and more. To be an effective guard or wing, players must be able to set up defenders and use ball screens. Coach McClanaghan works with players to help them read the defense. That way, players can work against hedges, hard hedges, traps, and defenders going under the screen. McClanaghan also works on dribble pull-ups, lateral action, and drive and kicks. Each has a drill or two that helps players develop these skills. Like the rest of his drills, these are not only designed for skill development, they also help players learn to perform under pressure and serve as conditioning drills. This DVD is loaded with ideas and drills from one of the NBA’s best skills trainers. Let Coach McClanaghan help you build quality perimeter players by adding this to your coaching video library.

Sean Miller’s Skill Development School: Wing Workout The most versatile player on the court is the wing player and Arizona head coach Sean Miller has spent plenty of time developing quality wings. In this video, the three-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year gives you a complete wing workout designed to work on all phases of the game including post play, transition, cutting, screening, shooting, and ball handling. Coach Miller, who has taken Arizona to the Sweet Sixteen five times during his tenure there, will help you develop wings that are the total package on the floor. Shooting Wings will get many looks at the basket with the potential to score. Coach Miller demonstrates four shooting drills that focus on the 1-2 step and shoot method. This simple 1-2 step routine helps Miller’s players get their feet right, stay balanced, and get into the right position to shoot every time. Coach Miller shows you a way to maximize practice time by getting players to shoot from seven different spots on the floor launching as many shots as possible in a given amount of time. The drills include 2-pointers, 3-pointers, and shots on the move to simulate the shots a wing would take in a game situation. Triple Threat Catching Effective wings must have the ability to catch the basketball and then evaluate the scoring opportunity. In the segment called Triple Threat, players learn to play off the catch in the half court. Players catch the ball in the triple threat position giving them a distinct advantage. Players learn to work different attacks and Coach Miller teaches players to develop a dominant pivot foot and how to attack any opponent. Screens Wings have to be able to do it all and that includes the ability to come off screens and score as well as knowing how to set screens in the half court. Coach Miller demonstrates every single cutting action that your wing players may face. Players learn how to free themselves for an open shot. You will learn five basic screening actions: curl, fade, pop, back cut, and button hook.  Good wing players must also be able to free up their teammates for open shots. Coach Miller teaches wings how to read and set the perfect screen. He then shows the screener how he too can get open and become a scoring threat after having set the screen. Several read and react actions such as slips, curls, bumps, and more are all demonstrated as ways for cutters to use a screen to create space and score. Coach Miller’s presentation is one of the best wing development DVDs on the market. It is a must-have for every coach interested in developing dangerous offensive players that can essentially do it all.

Perimeter Player Development Today’s game of basketball is much more dependent upon the perimeter game. Players love to shoot the 3-pointer as well as drive to the rim, but what is often neglected is the pick and roll defense, handling the ball with both hands, footwork, and maximizing the dribble. Marquis Hines, former three-time Wisconsin Division I state championship head girls coach at Vincent HS, discusses what it takes to be a complete, all-around perimeter player. He shows you a series of drills that focus on the skills needed to become a polished offensive threat. The presentation begins with several drills to train the mid-range jump shot. It progresses to the fade-counter move for mid- and long-range shots. Coach Hines demonstrates drills using chairs for closer pull-up jumpers and how to get to the rim. Finally, players learn to shoot off of a down screen. Coach Hines explains the specific footwork that perimeter players must have to improve their shooting form. Coach Hines is a big believer in training ball handling. He puts players through a series of dribbling drills that utilize chairs as stationary defenders. Hines teaches the correct form for a crossover dribble, between the legs, and around-the-back moves. He also explains the importance of the first two dribbles which helps to eliminate unnecessary dribbling, create space, and gain an advantage. The Definitive Pick and Roll drill is a 2-on-2 situation where Coach Hines discusses how to hedge, show, and be in help mode in order to take away any advantage created by an on-ball screen. The presentation ends with individual shooting drills that work on stepping into the shot all while maintaining balance when using an off-the-ball cut. Coach Hines’ presentation brings guard play back to its heyday while preparing perimeter players for the nuances of modern basketball offense.
